Ultimate Zero RB Watchlist: NFC Week 5

Welcome to the Ultimate Zero RB Watchlist where we follow usage patterns, advanced stats, and injuries to locate RB targets for your teams before anyone else even knows about them.

We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas! – Mike McCoy trying to figure out how to best deploy David Johnson, probably.

With Week 5 in the rear-view mirror, I’m changing up the format of this piece a little bit. Instead of discussing backfields that are dominated by stud running backs such as Todd Gurley, Saquon Barkley, and Christian McCaffrey, I’ll be breaking down some of the more convoluted RB situations in an attempt to find future breakout candidates. I’ll also be commenting on usage notes and highlighting players who could benefit going forward.
As always, check out Mark Wemken’s accompanying AFC piece here.
